That's exactly what they said, they just reversed the emphasis because they were trying (admittedly without much success) to forestall the threat of an angry mob, not sit in Philadelphia and pontificate about America.

The angry mob with laptopsRoll Eyes  They posted it on Twitter and their website. 

The people in Philadelphia generally have sense that to think an angry mob has Wi Fi!

Oh for God's sake. People, even foreigners, do generally have way to get news off the internet on to the ground these days, you know. Or did you sit out all of last calendar year in this part of the world?

Ayaan Hirsi Ali weighs in, says nothing new, makes it about herself.

You won't make any head way with that guy.  I mean he is arguing a group of people that are pissed off about a video on the internet... can't find out about things on the internet.

So they are all checking their laptops on the way to the riotSeriously, Link?

First, the serial apologies don't seem to have helped, since the rioting has spead.

Second, who in the hell tried to stop a riot by posting something to appease the rioters on a website.  If they really wanted to try to stop, talk to the local media.  Posting a sign, even in English, might have been more broadly seen that the website.

According to you, the rioters are march with signs, rocks and torches and this occurred:

Hassan:  Abdullah, we're in wi fi hotspot.  Check the US Embassy's website has posted an apology. 

Abdullah:  Sure, Hassan.  I booked marked the infidel dogs website before we left.  [Pause]  Ah, praise Allah, they did.  Let's go catch the end of the football game.

The only good thing about that is that Obama didn't order it.  He just did the follow up.  Roll Eyes

J.J., you would do well to consider the way the original anti-Mubarak protests in Tahrir Square were organised.

The funny thing about J.J. is he thinks the main way people access the internet in Africa is using a laptop and wifi!  Maybe he should swap his Mensa membership card for a passport and leave the social security office in Phili for awhile.  There's a whole world out there.

Do use really think that before the mob was attacking the US Embassy, there were going to check its website?  Roll Eyes

One of the actresses who "appeared" in the film is suing for defamation. Good, I say.
